Nice birds Pat , are you like a guide or do you just like to call in birds for you friends ?

RD,
Yea I work for an outfitter now. I called in over 70 gobblers last year for clients. But even with that when it is amazing how many friends you make doing this. We have a very high rebook rate becuase of the hunts we put on and the way we treat our clients. We make feel as though when you come to camp you are amongst friends. I have guys email me and call me all the time that hunted with me just to sit and bull chit. I have also helped alot of them by teaching them while we are hunting how to be successful in their own state. The benefit to working for the outfitter that I work for I get to go to 5 states so I have a pretty awesome spring with the amount of hunting that I get to do with the clients.

Congrats to your hunters, looks like thay had a good season. I helpd a few friends and family tag a few Easterns last spring here in IL and I'll admit it was one of the most exciting seasons I've ever had. At this point, I think I get just as excited and the friendsthat I allow to shoot 'em. Congrats again and thanks for sharing the pix
